Masks Off Hooray
I could not wait to get rid of my mask, kicking it into the street.
Entire elementary school was giddy, getting rid of them was a treat!
We saw the smiles of students we have not seen for an entire year.
I am so glad to tear this mask off, nothing at this point do I fear.
I am not yelling “come and get me Covid” but I feel a bell should ring.
I feel like a real person again, and it makes me happy enough to sing.
We are high-fiving each other, and dancing and skipping toward class.
I hope if they ever want masks again, this awful urge will quickly pass.
